I have movieclip in my php page. I have button in that clip. What code should I use for change all page to an other one because when I use
on (release){getURL("[URL]");}
It opens that page at swf file's spot but I don't want it. I tried
on (release){ getURL("[URL]", "_blank");}
But it opens in new tab. I want to open new page in same tab. Is there any way to do that?
I have a flash button embedded into a css/HTML page that I want to use to navigate into a new page without opening a new window. Here's the code I'm using in the SWF which I got from the adobe tv tutorial:Here is the test page that I have embedded the flash button in:The flash button is the "about Ian" button on the upper left. I want the navigation to be like the traditional rollovers on the page. (I'm working my way up to having the embedded flash button fade into place, that's why I'm using flash.)
// 1. Event handler function
function clickHandler (Event:MouseEvent): void { trace("CLICK!"); navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://ianmartinphotography.com/about.html")); } // 2.

It opens a new page rather than in the same browser.
I was given a .FLA containing a banner and was asked to create an input text field and a button that, when clicked, opens a new window with the address, say "www.mywebsite.com/page.php?value=..." where "..." is what the user types in the input text field. The page the user is sent to then performs some action. Now they're asking me to make the page automatically perform that action, as in, they want the .FLA to send the value typed in by the user to that page at [URL] without the user actually going to that page at all. Is this flash-related or even possible?
In short what I'm asking is: Is it at all possible, in principle, to hand a value over to a .php page using flash and then make that page perform an action without being opened? If so could you point me in the direction of how to do it?
I am still learning Action Script but I have a problem with writing the full script for combing navigate to new URL and gotoAndPlay. More specifically what I want to do is use a button which when clicked will open a new page and then start playing my Flash movie at a certain frame on the Timeline. I have used buttons to navigate to a new URL and used the gotoAndPlay ( ) ; command to play a certain frame, both have been successful but when I combine the two I run into trouble. What happens is the new page loads correctly and goes to the specific frame but then opens the browser in a new window with the movie playing from the beginning. The correct sequence within the correct Webpage is playing but only if I close the current page, in other words what I am trying to achieve is running but in the background.
View 8 RepliesI need to load in an external HTML webpage on the stage of one of my .SWF files. Currently I have a primary .SWF pulling from a .XML database that has a list of other .SWF files it will import and display every time you "flip" a page as this site is being designed like a book. I have a .swf working that will pull and display an external HTML page but when i try to embed that .swf into the parent book.swf (Book.swf --> book.xml --> html.swf) it doesnt work. Likely the code i am using doesnt display the HTML if testing the .swf on a local server but the moment you place it on a webserver and call it through a web browser it works.
I don not need anything special, just something that will display the HTML page in a static box that i will set with a fixed size and a scroll bar.
I added a Flash animation to a web page, and instead of showing it, I get this Canceled opening the page error (that, or it just shows this big blank space) in all of the browsers I've tried (IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera). Adobe says Flash won't play in a 64-bit browser. I made sure I'm using Safari's 32-bit mode; it still won't play. I empty the cache, reset Safari, still nothing. I admit to not having loads of Flash experience, but this strikes me as odd.g

I am working in flash and php.. I want to write a text file from flash via php. The thing is when I click on button it rites and redirects to another page. I have stopped the re-direction. 2ndly I want that instead of on click of button I want the variables to be passed to php and write a text file when a frame is loaded. Its basically a gallery, where images are loaded one after another. I want that when one image is loaded via xml. It should write a text file with Hit = 1, so that I know that the image is viewed. All things is working fine, except when I use GetURl on loading the image a new window opens( blank) and my flash file goes off.. Is there any way to stop a blank page opening.
View 2 RepliesI am creating a standalone projector (CD with autorun). This means my swf files are NOT contained within html. I would like to, when clicking on button, open a popup html page with specific dimensions. I was wondering if it is possible to do that, and what AS to use,
or if I have the obligation, to openpopups, to launch my swf files within html mother page.
Here is the code of button that works (but does not open popup):
on (press) {
getURL("URL", "_blank");
}
Here is the code for popup but does not work (opens html page normally):
on (press) {
getURL("URL", "", "width=580,height=400,left=100,top=100");

I'm using the Flash CS4 IDE, and the first page of my site takes a lot longer to load than I want it to. So I wanted to go through the varied images / symbols / movie clips / sounds and so on to see where all the memory is being chewed up. When I go into my library, however, I can see the Name, LInkage, usecound and Type of my elements, but no mention of file size and I can't seem to find any right click menu that lets me add file size to the list of details being displayed. Is there a way to make it show file size? Or some workaround? And are there any best practices to reduce file size aside from using symbols for anything that's used more than once and reducing image and sound quality?
View 4 Repliesi have some preloader frustrations..dont point me to a previous preloader thread...i have been there already and no im not talking about any preloader that loads the WHOLE movie at the beginning, i know how those work... I need a tutorial/explanation that will teach me how to load a move 'button by button' or 'page by page'.
By this I mean, the first thing the movie will do is load the first 'page' and say you have a few more buttons on that 'page'. It loads all the buttons and that 'page' first..nothing else...then i click one of the buttons (no matter what order) and the 'page' switches to a preloader and then when the second 'page' is loaded, it is displayed.So many sites have this kind of preloader...but i cant believe how many tutorial sites only teach how to program the type of preloader that just loads the WHOLE movie.
i'm having major difficulties. I'm using Adobe Flash Professional CS3 and I'm trying to create a button to open a .exe file. I have been going roudn in circles and nothing seems to work for me at all. I have created my button and gave it an instance name, if someone can talk me throgh the procedure I would be very much obliged.

View 2 RepliesSorry for bothering you with questions like these, but I've never worked with Flash before, so I've got no knowledge in as3. So I'm trying to make a full flash website, and I've read some good tutorials on the net, but some of the script codes the tutorials provide doesn't work. I'm trying to link a button to a page like google, or a page on the flashsite. I just purchased Flash cs4, so that might be the reason why the tutorial codes doesn't work..
View 5 RepliesI'm working on a Flash project (which will eventually be published as an .exe - not sure if that makes any difference) which has buttons which need to open up external files.The external file will vary in type (there will be at least one button each for .pdf, .exe and .swf).I've managed to get this from various online help things:
Code:
function f_testURLOpener()
{
var url:String = "BWorking.exe";
var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest(url);
navigateToURL(request);
}
I've tested it with about 5 different file types and it only seems to work if the url String begins with "http://". Even local htm/ html files don't open.
i recently developed my website and i decided to create buttons to link my site. The problem i'm having is that when i click on a button it's opening up a new tab in my browser.
on (press) {getURL("services.html", "_main");
}
I haven't for the life of me been able to figure out how to open a file (Non .exe or .swf) with a button from a movie.
Here's the scenario, I need to open a PDF file by clicking on a button. GetURL won't do it even if the browser is set to open PDF's with a plug-in. As far as I can tell FSCommand will only open executables.
I know this cant be too difficult, but please entertain me I want to create a button on my web page for zoom in and out (the whole web page).
In IE you can achieve this by doing the following - "Press and hold the contol button and then press the - (minus) button (Ctrl -)." or click on the view option at the top of the browser>>zoom>>zoom out.
So the following code allows us to open an HTML link with the click of a button
function callLink(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com/");[code].......
The problem is that this always opens the link in a new window. So what if I want it to open in the same window? Changing the line to:
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http:url...); results in a compiler error.I am embedding this swf on a web page of my own, so there are no security concerns regarding giving flash access.
I created a button and linked it using this code:
[Code]...
But it keeps opening the link in a new window, how do I stop it from doing that so it opens in the same window the swf will be in? Where do I add target=_self?
I have a Flash menu and want the buttons to open jpg's in another swf on my HTML page. I searched for "localConnection", but couldn't find a suitable example. I also heard this is possible with Javascript.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to figure out why my Flash button opens the link in a new browser tab, when it should just replace the page with the new one.
I'm using Flash CS4 with AS3 code, the button in Flash receives variables from an XML file and then knows what URL to pass when the user clicks the button. "Request" is the variable being passed for the URL. The website uses PHP and everything works except opening a new tab.
The main line of code for this is:
navigateToURL(request, '_blank'); [I know this WILL open new tab]
I modified it to try both of these:
navigateToURL(request, '_self');
navigateToURL(request);
Is it possible to open a cross domain pop up window from a flash button. Let's say something like this:
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('[URL]','newWin','width=800,height=650,left=60,top=60,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=no,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
}
Is a button hosted in domain that links to a secure page in link. Will it work or will it get blocked by browsers or internal flash restrictions?
Right now I have everything set up and linked correctly except when you click the button it opens up a new tab rather than just going straight to the suggested URLHere is the code I have now...
button_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void
